Browsing through ideas and potential christmas goodies, we came accross the most puzzling and therefore original high luxury accessory, “Cute at the table”… a Tach creation exclusively available from Tach shops in London and Russia, where the brand comes from.
Tach’s Cute At The Table comes bejewelled with diamonds, solid gold, platinum or simply stainless steel. The design can be chosen from a wide selection or can be bespoke.
Still, its streamlined shape left us wondering what it is: a luxury usb key, a lighter, a cigarette roller… perhaps a whistle? Imagination was buzzing full mode. The lovely PR lady came to help us solve the mystery. The enigmatic device unfolds to provide a hook, to hold your bag to the edge of a table…
Now your favourite bag will be kept from hanging dangerously from the back of your chair or resting on the floor, leaving it away from potential damages. Ingenious and stylish. For the bag lover who loves diamonds (a girl’s best friend, especially the one with an arm candy)
